TEARS FOR FEARS
- Fish Out Of Water Lyrics / with translationsYou always said you were the compassionate one
But now you're laughing at the sun
With all your high class friends you think you've got it made
The only thing you made was that tanned look on your face
With all your cigarettes and fancy cars
You ain't a clue who or what you are
You're dreaming your life away
Fish out of water
Go swim in the tide today
Fish out of water
We used to sit and talk about primal scream
To exorsice our past was our adolescent dream
But now it's sink or swim since your memory fails
Now in Neptune's kitchen you will be food for killer whales
And on the crucifix his mother made
Hangs one more martyr to the hit parade
You're dreaming you're life away
Fish out of water
Go swim in the tide today
Fish out of water
You're dreaming you're life away
Fish out of water
Go swim in the tide today
Fish out of water
But now you're laughing at the sun
With all your high class friends you think you've got it made
The only thing you made was that tanned look on your face
With all your cigarettes and fancy cars
You ain't a clue who or what you are
You're dreaming your life away
Fish out of water
Go swim in the tide today
Fish out of water
We used to sit and talk about primal scream
To exorsice our past was our adolescent dream
Now in Neptune's kitchen you will be food for killer whales
And on the crucifix his mother made
Hangs one more martyr to the hit parade
You're dreaming you're life away
Fish out of water
Go swim in the tide today
Fish out of water
You're dreaming you're life away
Fish out of water
Go swim in the tide today
Fish out of water

When we search for the deeper meaning hidden within the lines, Tears for Fears' 'Fish Out Of Water' not only discusses but also criticizes a person's separation from reality and bygone ideals, by means of a metaphor 'fish out of water' for the person to be in such a state of struggle and misplacement in the present surroundings. Fish out of water lyrics dominantly portray the speaker's angst, reflection, despair, heartbreak, and anger. Nonetheless, the song highlights, through its lyrics, the concepts of disillusionment, loss of identity, escapism, nostalgia, and survival, to a large extent. The lyrics also make mention of cigarettes, which belong to the class of substances that might be harmful, and the respective themes of disillusionment and escapism may well be more of a mature audience's concern. Moreover, the imagery and metaphors invoked like 'food for killer whales' and 'martyr to the hit parade' also hint at a certain complexity and intensity that goes hand-in-hand with a PG-13 rating.
